As Vermont Woods Studios ’ President and Founder Peggy Farabaugh stands on the patio behind their spectacular Stonehurst showroom in Southeastern Vermont , there is a palpable sense of gratitude in her voice when she speaks on the chain of events that brought her business to where it is today . “ I built Vermont Woods Studios on a foundation of environmentally-sustainable practices ,” says Farabaugh . “ At Vermont Woods Studios , we firmly believe that where furniture comes from , how it ’ s made , and the impact that it has on the environment is equally as important as its aesthetics and functionality . We built the Stonehurst showroom and outdoor nature sanctuary in line with that same philosophy .”
Situated on a pristine 109-acre plot of unspoiled wilderness , Vermont Woods Studios ’ Stonehurst showroom is a showstopping testament to the power of ecologically-conscious commerce . Inside , exposed wooden beams , hanging light fixtures and chandeliers create an ambience of rustic splendor , which is further enhanced by the beautiful artworks that line many of the walls . The warmly-lit rooms are furnished with handcrafted furniture made by established Vermont artisan woodworking institutions , including Lyndon Furniture , Copeland Furniture , and Maple Corner Woodworks . The exquisite furnishings are all made with sustainably-sourced wood and are complemented by a wide range of beautiful Vermont-made home décor goods , such as custom metal lighting fixtures from Hubbardton Forge ; striking tableware and pottery from Simon Pearce ; and luxurious pillowcases , sheets and duvets from Anichini
